Tony B Liar’s stand-in for PM has come up with the idea for another commerative day. As I seem to have missed Gordos generous treatment of veterans and their families in his treasury role, his previous speeches extolling their virtues, his morale raising tours of our bases in Iraq, his grieving appearances at military funerals, and his compassionate visits to the returned wounded mark me down as a cynic. And disgusted at this use of people who deserve better. We have a day for this – November 11th. There are, of course, many days that could be celebrated in connection with our forces. We could have a Combat Stress Day, a Day for Homeless Ex-servicemen, a day to record Government Responsibility for sending soldiers ill-equipped in battle. The options are almost endless.
